Since I have been bitten by the quilting bug again, I am determined to sew!!! During Spring Break I told my kids that "I" am having Spring Break and am going to sew! I made two baby quilts for other people that week and started a quilt that I’m actually going to keep! Fun!
I love patriotic quilts (some of them anyway) and I am crazy-in-love-with America and her history. I have one patriotic quilt at the long-arm quilter right now, (one I started 4 years ago and am finally finishing!) and another patriotic quilt that is on my UFO list and I will hopefully finish it soon. (There's some hand-stitching on it that is a bit intimidating to me...)
Since getting bitten by the quilting bug again, I've been dreaming about and waking up with visions of quilts in my head! Thereby came this quilt idea for Fireworks.
And this is one of things I love best about quilts…
This is my hubby reading a bedtime story to my daughter. : )
Ahhhhhh, there’s nothing like reading a good book with your kids while snuggling up under a nice quilt.
“Tickle Kingdom” by Robert D. Harris is one of our favorites!
Preciosa¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡besos
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and I, too, love that use for quilts!
ReplyDeleteI love it! You've totally inspired me. I have been saving red and blue scraps to make a string quilt for my son but I just couldn't face making another one. You can't beat a pinwheel so that's it - I'm sold! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking quilt! It's nice to actually see them being used =D
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a BEAUTIFUL quilt. I've been thinking of making one in red, white and blue to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee year,(I live in the UK), but didn't want one that would be too obviously linked as I figured it would 'date' a bit, this seems like the perfect solution.
